CHRISTMAS 2011
Well, Christmas has come and gone again for another year. It was a fun Christmas 2011 with two little girls this time.
We started off by having our own family Christmas on Friday night, since we weren't going to be home on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
We made Reindeer pancakes with bacon antlers. Yum!
Kelsey attempted to open her first present ever. She was not much into gifts like Morgan was. :)
Kelsey got these feet rattles for Christmas. She was on my lap when I tried to take this picture. But she loves to play with her feet, so these were a huge hit!
We spent Christmas Eve Day with Jared's side of the family. The cousins had so much fun playing with each other all day!
They humored us by letting us take some pictures before they dug into their gifts.
The two baby cousins enjoyed each other's company as well.
Grandma Faith got all the grandkids matching jammies.
Morgan tried to hold Kelsey up. She kept saying, "Kelsey, just SIT UP!" :)
Christmas Day
We went with Grandma Joy and Grandpa Doug to their church on Christmas morning, then headed back to their house to celebrate with my side of the family. Grandma had asked us to bring a birthday cake for Jesus. We opted for cupcakes, but the girls enjoyed eating them after singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and blowing out the candles.
Since Morgan usually wears ponytails in her hair, Grandma Joy made her a hat with a hole in the top for her ponytail to stick out! :)
Her big gift this year was her big girl bike with training wheels. She has outgrown the tricycle she got from Grandma and Grandpa last year already. She was beyond excited!
She also loved her guitar from Cousin Molly. Though she kept calling it her "violin." :)
My two sweet, precious gifts!
Grandma Joy and her two newest granddaughters.
Kelsey was more into pounding on her presents than opening them. :)
I just love this picture!

WOW! AMAZING!
I found a recipe for monkey bread on Pinterest that looked yummy and easy, so Jared and I set out together this morning making it. So fun to bake with my hubby! Anyway, DELICIOUS! We usually just make the quick and easy carmel roll version with Pillsbury biscuits, but those don't even come close! You have GOT to try out this recipe! YUMMA!

MY NEW OBSESSION
My new obsession is Pinterest! I have been finding so many of these kinds of free printables that are either words made into pictures or "subway art" type of "messages." I am in LOVE! I dug out this black frame that has been sitting in a drawer, printed out the picture, slapped it on some scrapbook paper, and ..... PRESTO! Too bad I just found this now, 3 days before Christmas! LOL! But....I have pinned a whole bunch more for each season, and some general ones, so I will change this out every so often! I am SO in love! Isn't it funny how something so simple can get me so excited? :)

HOLIDAY BAKING ROUND 2
We spent another morning making Christmas goodies for our neighbors. It is tradition to make oreo balls, chocolate covered carmel apples, and white chocolate chex mix. Yum! I ate way too much!
And this is what Kelsey did while we were working away!

LOVING PINTEREST
I am LOVING www.pinterest.com !!! I have found some great ideas, and I love how easy it is to keep track of them. Here are a couple we did the other day:
Felt Tree
Ornament Scavenger Hunt
I took pictures of individual ornaments on our tree and had Morgan hunt for them. When she found them, she got to mark them off on her sheet. She had a blast!!
Felt Tree
I made a tree out of felt and cut out some ornaments, too. Morgan had fun "decorating" her own tree over and over again!
And I have lots more ideas that I am dying to try! But where to find the time......
